Legalisation chain
- 1
Attest in the country of issue
First the document is attested in the country where it was issued: usually by a notary/relevant authority, then that country's ministry of foreign affairs.
- 2
Attest at a UAE embassy/consulate
Next the document is attested at the UAE embassy or consulate in the issuing country (legalisation before bringing it into the UAE).
